75TwinCam Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 I was in Spearfish over the weekend, and thought the group should know about this. I have to head home to Colorado before the tour reaches Spearfish, but you might want to stop here for lunch. It's on the south end of downtown, on the west side of Main Street.

slomove Posted June 21, 2011 Author Share Posted June 21, 2011 Let me know if I missed anybody. I wish I didn't have to scan it; the maps lost a little legibility. But I lost some software in the last computer "upgrade". Thanks! That was a good idea. If I should lose or break my GPS I would have to rely on memory. And I am losing that, too :willy_nilly: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scannon Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 Very Cool! I am wondering if we would get a discount ;-) We need at least a photo op there even if it isn't a convenient time for lunch or dinner. Derek: did you sample the food? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
75TwinCam Posted June 21, 2011 Share Posted June 21, 2011 My sister ate dinner there last Thursday night. She said it was good, but pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Automoda Posted June 23, 2011 Share Posted June 23, 2011 Hopefully the winding mountain roads dont have 8 feet of snow on them. Here in UT we're at about 400% snow pack, and some spots have 1200%. Many camp grounds normally open are still covered in deep snow. I'm imagining a lot of muddy spots with water trickling across the road at the very least. Does anyone have any info about the condition of the route's higher elevations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 23, 2011 Author Share Posted June 23, 2011 No idea about the Beartooth Hwy which is really high up but probably well maintained. There was ample snow at the side of the road when we were there 2 years ago but perfect road conditions. But I returned today from a trip to Europe and had a chance to check out the Bighorn Mountains from above. Some snow patches at higher altitudes but nothing contiguous and I would guess the roads are well open. Black Hills is not that high altitude, anyway and we have another 2 weeks to go. Hey, it is Summer, after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 (edited) For the folks new to long distance touring in a Seven, here my personal checklist for some items to consider. Obviously if everything goes alright you don't need all this junk, but many items don't really take much space. I just like to be as self-sufficient as possible. As the passenger seat is occupied, I have a luggage tray in the back of the car so that I can pack all that. The clothes, laptop and the like go into watertight roll-top duffels like this one. Very handy. Edited June 26, 2011 by slomove Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squarefour Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Looks like Storage Stables may be flaking on me. Anybody have any other leads for tow rig storage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 28, 2011 Author Share Posted June 28, 2011 There are 2 RV rental places in Jackson who might do that? I will also write our friends tonight where we are going to store our trailer if there is more space in the neighborhood (8 miles north near the airport).

squarefour Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 That would be great, but if it's a no-go I found an RV storage place in Idaho Falls. I called all over Jackson and came up empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slomove Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Whatever it is I would need to let Bill G. know. AFAIK he is going to need trailer space too and he is not often here on this board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzempel Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 How about long term parking at the Jackson Hole airport? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squarefour Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 How about long term parking at the Jackson Hole airport? The website says it's $10/night, with trailer that's probably $20/night. A little steep, but an option. The Idaho Falls place is $50 for the whole month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squarefour Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 On another subject, anybody else planning on stopping by Bonneville on the way back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rzempel Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 The website says it's $10/night, with trailer that's probably $20/night. It sounds like they think they are in a big city, or something. Just brainstorming...are there any Hay and Feed, or Ranch Supply places in town? One of those might have a spare corner you can park a trailer in.
